bill: michelle obama's pleading for more patience. how tough is that as a political selling point when unemployment is 8 plus? >> well, i mean it is a tough sell, bill. it was a great speech. i think a speech of both conventions so far but if you look at last three elections, 2006, 2008, 2010, wave elections where the electorate has been very angry. a lot of people think we're on the wrong track. when you're pleading for patience it is a very difficult sell. that's why i think president obama will be attacking mitt romney on thursday night because he needs to say this is not necessarily a referendum on him but a choice between two different directions. bill: what viewers at home may not have seen unless they were watching earlier in the night, are the many appeals and speeches to abortion and pro-choice here in charlotte and the appeals directly to the auto bailout. what is the strategy there, bob, on both? >> well, bill, i think on the abortion, it is getting the base out. both mitt romney and obama, they need their base out. so when
